What do you need to rent a car in Santa Clara?
Two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking your policy terms and conditions to avoid any hassles.
Can I drive in Santa Clara with my U.S. Driver's license?
You may need an International Driving Permit, in addition to a valid U.S. License, to get behind the wheel in Santa Clara. This permit lets you legally drive in many countries, so we recommend that you apply for one in the weeks before your trip.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Clara?
Expedia makes it a snap to score an affordable long-term rental in Santa Clara. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and explore your possibilities.
Where can I find a Santa Clara car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Santa Clara rental providers you’re interested in. If you’re under the age of 25, some outlets will charge additional fees. It’s useful to know this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
